So does this one fix the spinning beachball on sse2 cpus?

ie:

The Disk Utility will keep freezing (and also the Checking Available disks in the installer, or stuck at 0%-x% during install) in the SL installer because of lack of sse3. It seems the sse3 emulation is missing something/loop/hangs when a certain instruction is used.

My only way to install it was from other Leopard system.. but then after boot it gives the 100% cpu, md5/quickloop worker stuck, safari crash, xcode freezes.. system not usable..

If xcode did work I could disable the spotlight stuff, forgo safari with firefox/chrome... but I need xcode

legacy_kernel 10.4 not working on HP DV8t

Tried it on my HP DV8t-1100 (VF836AV) after using legacy_kernel 10.3.0 and saw a quick flash of the gray apple screen and then reboot.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Have you ensured, that the Extensions Cache was beeing rebuild correctly after deleting that kext? Maybe tried to use -f Flag for that?

Yeah i think that was the problem indeed. It boots again
Now i have a other problem, it seems that the machine gets a lot slower when playing HD movies, with 10.6.3 everything was fine. Did the drivers change? Anyone else with the same problem?

Edit: Found this...

"It appears to be 'only' happening on Macs with an nvidia graphics card or chipset, and is an apparent problem with certain OpenGL routines (not all) and the NV50HAL Graphics Driver that ships with 10.6.4
It also render CUDA (3.0.14) unusable).
nvidia are aware of the problem, and there is a bug report with Apple.
What they are doing, and time frame is a question only they can answer... "

You could try out using NV50HAL + NVDAResman from 10.6.3 - maybe it will cause compatibility problems with 10.6.4 frameworks - maybe it'll work...

Yes i tried that but got a kernel panic, restored the 10.6.4 kexts and for some reason it works good now...
